Deborah

Deborah went along on almost all our trips to the outlying villages. And in every village that we visited, there were some people who greeted her especially warmly. Many of these were people whom she had attended as a nurse at the Samaritan’s Purse hospital in Lui. I don’t know how the many, many others had grown to know and love her – but she sure was greeted warmly.

Each time we worshipped in one of the archdeaconries, Bishop Bullen had us introduce ourselves. The visit in Buigi was memorable because the Bishop introduced Deborah as a “Moru-American.” That spoke volumes about how Deborah has lived with them as one of them. It’s clear they have come to love Deborah as one of their own.

About Me

I'm a progressive Episcopalian raised in the South and now (thanks to a job change) living in the conservative Midwest. I worship at Grace Episcopal Church in Jefferson City. I love the Episcopal Church, which rescued me from a life of wandering meaningless and gave me a way to explore my faith and belief in God.
On any given topic, I am prone to yammer-on way too long. Sometimes I ponder way more than I should.
A blog-friend said that I demonstrate a "muscled love for our Church." I hope I can live up to that.
And right now I'm pondering Blogger's challenge to define myself in 1200 characters.
